A 32-year-old Saginaw Township man has been arrested for computer sex crimes after a state police investigation.

The Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force reports Nathan Bruce Eurick has been jailed for the possession of child sexually abusive materials and for the use of a computer to commit a crime.

Eurick was arrested following a joint investigation with the Saginaw Township Police Department, in which digital evidence was seized from his home, a media release states. The investigation was prompted by a cyber tip provided to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Following a forensic examination of the digital evidence, Eurick was charged with five counts of possession of child sexually abusive materials and five counts of use of a computer to commit a crime. Eurick was arraigned on those charges in Saginaw County on Tuesday.
